Researchers from the University of Melbourne have published an article in the journal The Lancet Public Health, the first to assess the gender relationship between unpaid work and mental health, pooling and assessing the available evidence
Of the 14 studies of more than 66,800 participants worldwide, five investigated unpaid labor (including caregiving), nine investigated household time, and four also investigated childcare
Overall, in 11 of the 14 studies reviewed, women reported that their symptoms of depression or psychological distress increased as the need for unpaid labor increased
Lead researcher Jane Owen said: "We found significant gender differences in acceptance of unpaid labor
This research highlights the need for more attention and meaningful action to drive a fairer division of unpaid labor
"With unpaid labor and family responsibilities comes an undeniable mental burden
In addition, the researchers say substantive policy changes, such as universal childcare and the normalization of flexible work arrangements for men, are urgently needed to bring about real change
The researchers concluded that this review highlights the need for further high-quality longitudinal research in this area, the need for a better understanding of the nuances between the different dimensions of unpaid labor, and the need to define and measure unpaid labor.
